The biggest challenge with sidelight windows, the narrow windows often found on either side of a door, is finding an operating window blind that can be made small enough to fit. The operating mechanism often limits the width at which many blinds can be manufactured, thus limiting your choices. We've gathered this collection of sidelight window treatments that can be made narrow enough to fit most sidelight windows.

In most cases, you're probably just looking for a window treatment to add a little more privacy and light control to these windows, in which case a sheer shade or woven wood can do nicely. If you need more privacy, an optional liner on a woven wood or a more opaque cellular shade is more suitable.

looking for a wood blind?

If you really want a wood blind or faux wood blind in your sidelight windows to match the window treatments in the rest of your home, they can be made at narrow widths with a tilt wand in the center of the headrail. These blinds do not raise, and you'll need to contact our sales department to order these center tilt-only blinds.

"Best blind purchase yet"

By Blackout BlindsFan from Portland

These blinds are amazing for blocking out light. Easy to install. Depending on window framing you will have to install small amounts of weather striping to get the last tiny bits of light blocked out (Small amount included). The bottom of my window was not level and had a slight light streak I purchased some weather stripping and when blind is closed no light (Attached it to bottom of blind). If you need to block out light in your room for sleeping or home theater take a look at these. They are amazing at blocking light. I plan to purchase them again soon to start blocking more light out of my theater room.
